Description: Located on the south side of Gallatin, TN, Lock 4 Park is built on a woody patch of land forming a peninsula on Old Hickory Lake, full of wildlife, which makes for a beautiful landscape and an awesome mountain bike park. The Lock 4 mountain bike trails are designed for riders of all skill levels and considered a rolling, fast, single track with bypasses at each technical section. Almost 9 miles of trail allow riders to do just about everything from dodging cedar trees to jumps and rock climbs. With trail names like Persimmon Loop, Jeep Road, and Viney Flatts, you know you can ride with your grandmother, but for the real thrill seeker; try, The Rolling Table, Rabbit Run, and Smack Down. The slow going techies will love the Rock Garden, Sinkhole, and Shoreline Trail. Ride the full 9 mile loop or take advantage of the many connecting trials for a shorter trek. Whether you want a great aerobic workout or just to enjoy a casual ride through the woods, you will love Lock 4 trails.Other attractions at Lock 4 Park include a model airplane flying field, hiking, fishing, and boating. Swimming in the lake is allowed, but no life guard is present
